Honda HR-V Recalls (2016-2025)
The Honda HR-V has been the subject of 12 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2016 to 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the fuel system, seats, and back over prevention.
The Honda HR-V scores 40 out of 100 (grade C), a roughly average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 67% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 67% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 12 campaigns span 9 model years of the Honda HR-V. The single largest affected 2,490,460 vehicles, over fuel system. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common HR-V problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Honda HR-V may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
